When the young boys and girls chanting down to the America, while eating in McDonald, dancing rock n roll, you know that it is not about culture.

I was talking about AL-Qaida, not all of the Arab "young boys and girls". The fact that these boys and girls are "seduced" but these things is one thing that many members of Al-Qaida hate. However I do agree that culture is only a secondary reason.

When you know the same Bin Laden and his fighters were once fought side by side with the Americans

And the US and the USSR under Stalin both fought the Nazis. The enemy of my enemy is my friend (but not forever).

It’s all about feeling of unfairly treated, invaded, and occupied.

The occupation that OBL was most concerned about (US soldiers in Saudi) wasn't a real occupation.

Ask yourself what would you do if your land was taken away, your country was occupied and your love ones were slaughtered.

The Palestinians had been pushed around and abused by other Arabs for some time before Israel took over. Then Israel abuses them and the US supports Israel for years but OBL does nothing.

And OBL didn't get too upset about bullies either at least as long as the bullies where Arabs who have "unfairly treated, invaded, and occupied" and slaughtered each other more then Israel or the US have done to them.
